Truth is the meal that fills you for good; the finest robe you can wear is a heart full of song.
The Arc
Everyone is chasing the same four things: good food, good clothes, a good ride, and a pile of money. All four are closer than you think. The meal that fills you for good is truth. The best outfit you will ever wear is a heart that is singing. The best ride you will ever take is seeing your own way forward, from inside your own heart. And the treasure of peace is inside you, where it has been the whole time. At the centre, the Rahao: life itself is the One, and to live is to say the Naam in the Sangat.
